Title

Uncoupling DAPK1 from NMDA receptor GluN2B subunit exerts rapid antidepressant-like effects

Overall design

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) on extracellular glutamate levels and GluN2B-associated signaling molecules in the mPFC. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) CUS group. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks. Microdialysis cannulas were implanted unilaterally in the right mPFC, and glutamate levels were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (n = 4/5 per group).
